With increasing societal expectations and environmental regulations, evaluating and communicating the environmental impact of your products becomes a strategic imperative.

The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and the Environmental and Health Data Sheet (FDES) are standardized documents that present a product's environmental data throughout its entire life cycle. The FDES is specific to construction products and integrates both environmental data and health-related elements.

These tools help meet regulatory requirements, strengthen partner trust, initiate an eco-design approach, and seize opportunities in markets sensitive to environmental issues.

A recognized international regulatory framework

EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) and FDES are established in accordance with international standard ISO 14025 concerning Type III environmental declarations. FDES specifically relies on standard EN 15804 and its national complement, which govern construction products.

The creation of these declarations requires compliance with PCR (Product Category Rules), which define the requirements and guidelines to be considered in the LCA for each product category. Third-party verification is mandatory before any publication.
